Meow’s the time to make a new friend: adopt an adult cat for half the price

August 21, 2018

It’d be a cat-astrophe to miss out on our adult cat adoption promotion, happening now until Aug. 31! The promotion offers 50 percent off typical adoption fees for our adult cats.

Sponsored by Hill’s® Science Diet®, the event includes all SPCA locations across the province, with the exception of those closed because of wildfire evacuations. Due to the evacuations and fire threats, the SPCA has transferred 127 animals out of our northern shelters to other SPCA locations, including 75 kittens and 34 cats.

“This means that many of our other shelters are at capacity and we’d love to find these wonderful cats a loving home as soon as possible,” says Lorie Chortyk, BC SPCA’s general manager of community relations. “Our adult cats have so much love and personality to offer, having developed their temperaments at this point in their lives. This makes it easier to match them up with a potential guardian.”

Jenn Porter, general manager of Hill’s Pet Nutrition Canada, says Hill’s is happy to support the BC SPCA through its Food, Shelter & Love® program. “We’re so proud to be the cat and dog food supplier for the BC SPCA, and we’ll also be offering new guardians a free bag of Hill’s® Science Diet® pet food to make sure their new friend is well-fed and well-nourished.”
